1963 BUICK RIVIERA BODY ON RESTORATION

1963 Buick Riviera Description

For sale 1963 Buick Riviera with a full body on restoration,a fully known history,no rust anywhere including underside, under hood and trunk floor with some rare options. Car was originally purchased in California by a gentleman who bought it because it had door handle on the rear of the doors accessible from the rear seat and he didn't have to get out to let his wife out. He drove it until 1975 and then stored it in a garage in San Francisco until 2010 at which point I purchased it and shipped it to NY. Options include leather interior, Wonderbar radio with electric antenna, cornering lamps, vacuum trunk release, power windows, power door locks, remoter mirror, speed minder and that wonderful 4 note train horn. It even has the original washer bottle under the hood! Car was stripped of all paint and repainted with two stage urethane paint, chrome was sent Paul's Chrome in Pa, all bright work was polished and engine compartment was stripped down and refinished. Interior had new front seat skins, new floor carpet and the radio was sent out and restored, Ipod connection installed and the speaker was restored. Trunk had new cardboard installed. All brakes and hydraulics were replaced and the drums and wheel bearings serviced, engine was fully serviced including rebuilding the carburetor, Petronics electronic ignition installed, new exhaust installed and new radial tires installed. Car is not a 100 point concourse show car but is a well presented, well preserved driver that can be driven anywhere, shown at a local show or even a major one and owes no apologies. My favorite is to take it on a weekend get away to my favorite B&B.All interested parties are welcome to come see and test drive this car and if you wish for more or specific pictures, email and I will do my best to accommodate you.
